Should You Start or Sit Courtland Sutton in Week 7?
Plenty of offenses in today’s game make moving the ball look easy and putting points on the board second nature. For the Broncos, it’s an outright war.
Sutton had to make what will be on the shortlist for catches of the year last week to save what would have been another underwhelming game. Despite being the clear alpha in town (he has 21 catches and no other Denver receiver has 20 targets), he’s yet to reach 70 receiving yards, yet to have a 30-yard gain, and has twice as many games with two or fewer receptions as he does contests with 5+.
The Saints allowed a 20+ yard catch to four different Buccaneers in the first half of Week 6, but that’s not the norm. They are the best team in terms of opponent passer rating when it comes to defending the deep ball.
Neither of these teams as currently constructed wants a high-possession game where their offensive shortcomings are magnified. I’m looking at another 5-7-target game from Sutton where he will have to snatch production from the jaws of despair with a special effort to pay off starting him.
If counting on an outlier is his path to viability, I’m out. Sutton doesn’t crack my top 40 this week.
